[ Kylo says nothing at that correction, but his hand tightens briefly around Hux's. He doesn't let go of it either, this piece of unspoken sentiment that goes unacknowledged, absent from their vocabulary. To put a word to this is to risk breaking the brittle armistice between them.
With Hux here, he feels anchored, just a little less alone. After all, they walk the path that others have no heart or strength to take. They are the ones of promise and ambition, strong enough to weather this storm before moving forward. Sacrifices, after all, had to be made.
Kylo thinks of the man who had been Ben Solo's father, the warm touch on his face, and dwells on it like an open wound. How had this made him stronger? He didn't feel that way -- and in so many little ways it both poisons and frees him. He had cut out what had been tied to him, watched the light die in his eyes, and so had what was left of his own light, perhaps.
He hopes. It doesn't feel like a triumph. Hux, however, provides a strength that augments, and he simply nods. It's only a few moments before he tugs him closer, seeking more contact (wanting his arms around him).

It is not weakness. ]
